The Horus Heresy was a period in which a bunch of loyal subordinate good-guy Marines followed their good-guy Warmaster against the tyranny of a guy that called himself “Emperor of mankind”. This “Emperor”, currently: a rotting statue, is still to this day being held accountable for his crimes against humanity and other alien races. Contrary to popular belief, there were no outside influences involved in the Horus Heresy. As much as they would have you think otherwise.
BIG. STOMPY. ROBOT. What’s not to like about them? Especially one with huge crushy fists. And did I mention in-built heavy flamethrowers?
You had me at big stompy robot. But ok. Let’s take a look at the Alpha Legion Contemptor I painted to support the Hydra’s schemes.
Phase One had gone just f#@kin ducky, and I was ready to take a break and paint some Iron Hands (for which I have a greater plan along with the Salamanders ally I have started, but more on that later. Likely, much later). Then the big two day narrative event got in the way.
True leaders and heroes of both Imperial and Traitor forces, Praetors can be a huge asset to any force they join. Whether it’s in direct combat or in a supporting capacity, the skills and experience a Praetor can provide are invaluable. I recently painted one up for my Alpha Legion force and am excited to show it off.
It’s still March for Macragge and we have time for one more Ultramarine. And what an Ultramarine we have here. Today we take a look at Marneus Calgar himself, and his Victrix Honour Guard.
Over the last few articles I have alluded to working on Project Ultramar. I have posted pics in the Facebook group and on the Instagram account. Yet until now, I haven’t fully described what it is, where it started and the intended end result. So let’s get into it.
Todaye, we take a look at the unit that Tyson blames for making him wanna make another Ultramarines army.
In today’s article, Tyson describes how he plans large painting projects in a way that helps him avoid fatigue and ultimately failure. Have a look, hopefully something herein will aid your hobby journey.
Awww, yes. Update one is now upon us. This has been a fantastic little journey so far. Much progress, such wow. Let’s take a look and see how the Alpha Legion is shaping up.
In High Gothic it’s called an Astartes Rotor Cannon Squad. In Low Gothic it’s called a Brrrrt Squad. In English it’s called Marines go brrrrt. You know exactly what I’m talking about. I painted one for my Zone Mortalis list and I’m here to show it off.
Within the following article we will take a look at the Legion specific Praetor for the Ultramarines and take a look at the Project Ultramar series to come.
